So I’ve been doing a little work on the side, manning the Totally Blown Glass Etsy site (where you can find all our candle holders, business card holders and suncatchers for sale…) and I realized I’m totally a Treasury-addict! I’ve been saving up favorites for ages and I finally decided to put one together [...]
Let’s get personal for a minute… I was looking through my Flickr and noting how I had played on my projected 2010 style direction. I was pleased at how I’d presented myself through photo, even though I completely lost track of my anticipated direction. I had a heavy series of outfit posts at the beginning of the [...]
2010 has been a big year for a lot of people, myself especially. It was, in many ways, the year that defined. I look back at posts that made me think, social media that connected us, and posts I wrote that really helped define la bonne vie for me. Some of my favorite post thoughts [...]
I think I found this list on Psychology Today and because I know we’re all looking at our Resolutions for next year, I felt it was appropriate to post today. Do you want to change something about your life? Is there a goal that eludes you? Try this, and it just might stick! Break down [...]
It’s Cyber Shopping week and every retailer has got quite the deal for shoppers; with Christmas around the corner, how could shoppers NOT be interested in great deals. Among all the ruckus, though, it can become hard to find all the signature pieces – that something special for that certain someone. If you look hard, [...]
I originally posted this tutorial on Dramatis Personae on November 10, 2009. I thought it’d be a good idea to repost it here because it’s almost Halloween and I KNOW someone needs a tutorial on how to apply fake eyelashes. I’m no *real* pro when it comes to makeup, but I can assure you that [...]
I was just curious, you guys. How many of you retouch/Photoshop your photos before you post them online? I’ll admit, sometimes I play with the color sliders (because my blacks are faded, or the light was weird) and I’ve been known to desaturate blemishes if it’s REALLY noticeable – but this morning I was kinda [...]
Recently, I had a chance to dig through some of the old Deco Modiste back-stock from the last couple Spring/Summer collections. I took some of these cute little pieces over to the Sustalux studio where Jess and I spent an afternoon playing dress-up. There’s something about goofing off in amazing vintage pieces and new, wearable [...]
A prince in practice moans for the attention that he wants but most of this town won’t even dignify his ignorance with a response left to a crowded foster home by a 15 year old mom never been held in anyone’s arms when you’ve never been moved its really hard to move on A young [...]
I haven’t been very excited about a trend in… well I don’t even know. But now, I’m excited to watch a trend get the hell out – super-short, ultra-revealing, body-con. I’m over slatternly hemlines and too-revealing silhouettes. I’m ready for ladylike, long, elegant, flowing and vintage. It’s 30′s charm and 70′s svelte. It’s slightly bohemian, [...]
